At least you didn't go with Sight & Sound's more impenetrable style of prose - for example:
As for those old movie maestros, it’s the 50th anniversary of Fellini’s self-reflexive cause célèbre La dolce vita, the film that gave us the term ‘paparazzo’. Lee Marshall looks back at this “savagely wry Dance of the Dead, a debased version of Inferno in which Dante’s serious pilgrim is replaced by an ethically compromised chronicler who doesn’t so much observe and pity the damned as get into bed with them.” (Fellini himself worried that he was too entwined in his film’s subject, “like describing a fuck to someone while you’re doing it.”)
ffs!
